Aphrodite Beach Hotel This morning I didn't wake up until 10:30 am. I went for another great breakfast, then walked over to the hotel's gym for my massage. It was a maze and I had a hard time finding it, but eventually got there. The massage was meant to be kind of like a sports massage, and it was extremely painful. Good, but painful. Afterwards I felt so much better, more rejuvenated, and ready for the remaining three weeks of our tour. Traveling is a lot of fun, but it can get exhausting after a while. I'd been doing so much walking around and sightseeing my muscles were killing me! Try to splurge on something like this for yourself at least once if you can - you will feel great afterwards!
Afterwards I went back to my room to repack and shower. At 2:50 pm we had to meet the group to to go Paradise Beach.
Afternoon at Paradise Beach (12 euro): Hook up with your travel buddies for an afternoon on the world-famous Paradise Beach. Spend the day at this hip hang-out, meet a mix of new people and listen to the pumping tunes coming from the beachfront bars in the

Paradise Beach is basically one big beachfront club, definitely recommended. It only took 20 minutes to drive there. At first we sat down at the picnic tables and ordered food and drinks, and then the music started and it began to sound more like a club than a restaurant. I originally wasn't planning on drinking today since I'd had a big night last night, so I just had a milkshake. But I began to realize that this was one of those places where it's kind of hard to have a good time when you are completely sober and everyone else is wasted haha. The drinks here were also ridiculously expensive. I ended up having two cocktails - maybe they were made virgin by accident, I dunno, but I had no buzz at all. The cocktails the majority of the people got were called Devil's Tongue. They were made of Gordons ot Tanquerai, Smirnoff, Pampero, Tequila Jose Cuervo, Triple Sec, more Pampero, Southern Comfort, Archers, Drambuie, Grand Marnier, Blue Caracao and...orange juice. Strongest thing I've ever tasted in my life!
At Paradise Beach there is this famous guy (porn star? stripper?) known as the Elephant Man, who came

Paradise Beach to dance for us. He wears nothing but an "elephant trunk" thong. That was interesting haha. Lots of people had fun trying to dance with him.
I eventually went to lie on the beach and have a nap. I was still kind of hungover from last night, and it was nice to relax and listen to the music and the sound of the waves. I woke up to quite the commotion. It seems quite a few of the people on tour had decided they didn't like clothes anymore and had decided to go skinny dipping and swim to a boat moored close to shore. A couple decided to have some "fun" in the boat... Yep this is what goes on at Paradise Beach! Wish I'd drank a little more Devil's Tongue but I guess I'll save that for next time! I'm definitely planning on getting back to Mykonos one day soon.
We left the beach at 8:30 pm and drove back to the hotel. Some people wanted to go out again but me and my roommates were exhausted and went straight back to our room. We stayed up for a while and ended up talking until around midnight.

Me and Laura with our Devil's Tongues I was really starting to close to some of the people on tour, and I think here was the first time we started thinking about the end of the tour. It wasn't coming up that fast, but by this point everyone was starting to feel like a family, and we didn't want it to ever come to an end!
